1986 K5 Blazer Turbo-diesel With Camper Body And Oem Cap And Tailgate And Plow on 2040-cars
Worcester, New York, United States
|
1986 K5 Blazer. Four-wheel drive with manual locking hubs. 3/4 ton running gear front and back with 16" wheels and tires. Rear and front hubs are from a 1988 3/4 ton Suburban. Added leafs to rear springs and also has new Firestone air-suspension. Also a trailer hitch. Engine has a Banks turbo system- a lot boost setup that maxes around 7 PSI boost. Engine has recently rebuilt injection pump, new HD electric fuel pump, glow plugs, water-pump, and vacuum pump. Brakes are near new. Transmission is a 1990 from a diesel Suburban. Model 4L60. Has 500 miles since a complete rebuilt and upgrade with HD clutches, band, custom made torque-converter, etc. Exhaust has a stainless-steel muffler. Quad shocks in front. Blazer had some rust and a Western plow on it when I got it. I replaced some rusty sheet-metal in rockers, floors, and rear tailgate girder. I cut part of the snow-plow frame off and used as a front tire mount. Camper body on it now was made by Hallmark in Colorado. Has a pop-up roof. Propane heat and a fold-out bed, along with a over-cab bed. Also front seats fold down flat for a 3rd bed if wanted. Front seat is split bench and there's a small 2nd seat in back that comes out. So can seat four but will be tight. Camper has its own twin deep-cycle batteries and DC to AC electric rated 2000 watts. NOTE: I also have an OEM tailgate and cap if someone wants to convert this back to a typical Blazer. You can have your choice of a tailgate with electric window or crank. Choice of fiberglass cap with sliding side windows or fixed. Also choice of OEM back seats and spare carriers. But -you must remove them from other vehicles I have here. I do not have time. I am getting ready to sell my place and move. If bought - I will only be at my place in New York until August 8.
I will not have time to help with anything. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
